About Great Pyramid of Giza

Built around 2560 BC for the pharaoh Khufu, the Great Pyramid was about 146 m tall when finished. It lost its smooth outer casing and its top over the centuries, so it stands around 139 m today.

It held the title of tallest human-made structure for roughly 3,800 years, until medieval cathedral spires overtook it. It is made of around two million stone blocks.

You reach this landmark at 37 points. It is landmark 2 of the 21 between the ground and the Moon, which waits at 930 points. Its real height is about 1.5 times that of the previous landmark, Statue of Liberty.

Answers are worth 0 to 100 points depending on how rare they are, so even a run of nothing but the rarest answers needs at least 1 hold to get here. A fall drops you to just below the last landmark you passed, so a landmark you have reached can slip away again. See how to play for the full rules.
